This is the operative phrase. There are many cases where someone gets hit by a stun gun and dies, and the medical examiner rules the cause of death as "unknown" or "inconclusive." I remember hearing these claims a decade ago. The whole point being that cops and Taser International didn't want the devices to be associated with the deaths, so they were trying as hard as they could to make sure it was never listed as a cause of death.
BS like: "this guy just happened to have a heart attack at the moment he was hit with the stun gun, but the stun gun in no way contributed to his heart attack."
